I'm here with the Marines at Fallujah. It's not as bad as I thought it would be. I'm at the internet cafe and we only get 30 minutes time.

We had a mortar round land here this morning. One marine injured and one flown out for surgery. People here are great. I wish all Americans were as cool as these Marines. OOHRAH!

We fly out to Al Ramadi tonight and then to Al Asad. I guess you heard about the turnover. It caught the bad guys off guard by doing it 2 days early. There is really no more activity than usual, but you can never afford to let your guard down for a minute.

It's still hot as hell, so you are drinking water constantly. You remember when you were in Bahrain how hot it can get. The flak vests and helmets make it worse. I like to fly with the doors wide open so you get the wind in your face.

Well the clock is ticking so I better get off so a young Marine can get on line to his family. Talk to you soon

Your friend Bruce

Thanks Joe,

I don't have much time to think about politics, but I can tell you the Marines are the best, and we are heading back to Baghdad tonight.

I've logged about 1,000 miles in blackhawks. I took about 150 pictures so far but there is not time or bandwidth to send them.

I got a shot today of a MIG that was abandoned in the desert. The Iraqi's buried all sorts of stuff out here. I'm at an internet cafe and I'm running out of time.

Semper Fi and Semper Paratus,

Bruce
